It has been a murky damp day,we have a full house tonight and two couples have arrived with another four couples yet to check in. A foursome have rang to say they will be here between 8pm & 9pm, so it will be tea at Buckle Yeat tonight for me and Helen.We have spent most of the afternoon sorting out the christmas tree lights in preparation for next week when we will start to decorate Buckle Yeat for christmas.Why do the lights never work when you unpack them each year.Quite a few of the guests in this weekend are here to wathch the motor rally in Grizdale Forest which takes place tomorrow.
